Here's What We Love About The 1984 Chrysler Minivan

It’s been 37 years since the paradigm-shifting Chrysler minivan which was known as the Plymouth Voyager and the Dodge Caravan was unveiled.

It's been 37 years since the paradigm-shifting Chrysler minivan, known as the Plymouth Voyager and the Dodge Caravan, was unveiled.

The Chrysler minivan, an attempt by Chrysler to blend a Station Wagon and a conventional Van on a single wheel, was introduced in late 1973 as the 1974 model, and Chrysler was able to pull it off in flying colors. The minivan, known as the Dodge Caravan, and the Plymouth Voyager became hot cakes immediately.

Chrysler started sending them to dealers in late 1983, and the vehicle officially became available to the public in early January, with people scrambling to become proud owners of one. According to Autoblog , 209,000 units of the small van were sold in the debut year. The success of Chrysler's minivan soon inspired other automakers to join the segment to have their piece of the market.

According to NYTimes , Jack Helfman, the owner of River Oaks Chrysler Plymouth in Houston, expressed his frustration in February 1984 about how he had only delivered 20 of the van so far.

There are orders for about 80 already, which may take him months to clear off because the level of production couldn't match the demands for the minivan, even with the workers of the Windsor Ontario Plant, which was the only factory that built the van working double shift.

The 1984 Chrysler Minivan

Before Chrysler entered the minivan segment, they made full vans, which were pretty popular in the 1970s. Chrysler, wanting to make more options available and inspired by the success of their full vans, initiated the development of smaller vans.

Chrysler found themselves in a dire financial crisis by the end of the '70s, which slowed down their small van project, but they managed to push it through, releasing the van in late 1973 as the 1974 model Chrysler minivan. Dodge Caravan and the Plymouth Voyager became a revelation, and the success of this minivan helped Chrysler financially. The Chrysler minivans sport a front-wheel-drive with the engine in the front sitting on a compact chassis and interiors filled with many innovative ideas.

Space Was Not A Problem With The 1984 Chrysler Minivan

The Chrysler Minivan took the shine off all available station wagons in interior space and was not too big to be a sweetheart for soccer moms. The Chrysler Minivan can accommodate seven adults comfortably, with enough space for each to twist and turn. On days you have to move cargoes from one location to another, no qualms, you have a worthy companion in the Chrysler minivan. Without much hassle, you can convert your minivan for cargo hauling duties. The multi-dimensionality of the minivan made it a serious preference for small businesses.

Occupant's Safety Was Paramount

Unlike the Volkswagen minivan, which has been around since the 60s, and the Toyota Van introduced a year before the Chrysler Minivan, Chrysler seriously considered safety while building the minivan. Chrysler took cognizance of people's qualms concerning the position of the engines of most of the minivans on the market, which are placed in the rear.

People were particularly alarmed by the conspicuously short nose of the Toyota Van, which offers weak protection in case of an accident or a head-on collision. Chrysler considered all this and placed their engine in front of the car; to offer added protection to its occupants, especially the driver, in case of a crash.

Utility, Versatality, And Comfort In One Van

The Chrysler minivan was a perfect balance of the station wagon and the conventional van. According to NYTimes, the little van is 16 inches lower than Chrysler's standard van, 10 inches narrower, and 21 inches shorter, so it can be parked in garages where conventional vans wouldn't dare and tight spaces that can take a station wagon.

The Federal Environmental Protection Agency, in its rating, estimated that the van would travel 24 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway driving, and due to its front-wheel-drive platform, the minivan is easy to drive even on rugged terrains and under challenging conditions thanks to the small van being a front-wheel drive.

Chrysler's reign as the number one minivan producer was a highly successful one, and their minivans, most especially the 1984 model, continued to win and remained a classic among minivan lovers. According to Business Insider, by 2000, which was the year the sales of minivans peaked, Chrysler had sold around 1.4 million minivans. Chrysler's minivan sales were over 54 percent of all the minivan sales in the United States in 2019, and the Dodge Grand Caravan was the best-selling U.S. minivan.

Just like minivans took the shine off station wagons, SUVs and Crossovers started winning people over in the early 2000s, and minivans started losing market and public interest. According to MotorBiscuit , the Plymouth Voyager was discontinued in 2007, but its bigger cousin, the Dodge Grand Caravan, persevered until the chapter was finally closed on its glorious reign in May 2020.

Select a year

• Lows Only offered to fleet buyers, driver-assistance features cost extra, no hybrid option.
• Verdict The Voyager is a minivan bargain but sadly isn't available for sale to regular Joes.

What's New for 2022?

The Voyager goes fleet-only for 2022, meaning it's no longer offered for sale to the general public. The base L trim has been dropped, leaving the LX as the only option. The van gains the new Uconnect 5 infotainment system, Stow 'n Go second row seats, power sliding rear doors, a power-operated rear liftgate, a new in-cabin air filtration system, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel all as standard. A Safety and Premium Group package adds blind spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, in-dash navigation, a larger 10.1-inch infotainment display, and SiriusXM satellite radio. Silver Mist is now an available exterior color.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

The price of the 2022 Chrysler Voyager starts at $33,610.

While you'll need to be a fleet customer to order it, the Voyager's value-oriented packaging offers plenty of equipment as standard. Those features include automatic headlamps, aluminum wheels, three-zone manual climate control, and a lot more.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

Mechanically, the Voyager is identical to the Pacifica, using the same 287-hp 3.6-liter V-6 engine and nine-speed automatic transmission to drive the front wheels. In our testing, the Pacifica managed a 7.3-second sprint to 60 mph. Given this van forgoes some of the features that weigh down its brother, the Voyager likely weighs less than the Pacifica and thus has the potential to beat that time. Don't hold your breath for a hybrid. Chrysler will reserve that powertrain for the pricier minivan in its lineup.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

We haven't had the opportunity to test the Voyager on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy loop, but for reference, the last nonhybrid Pacifica we tested achieved 31 mpg. The Chrysler vans both earn EPA estimates of 19 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. The Voyager's 22 mpg combined score matches that of the Carnival and Odyssey, both chief competitors. For more information about the Voyager's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website .

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

As with the exterior styling, powertrain, and chassis, the Voyager's interior mimics that of the Pacifica, albeit with fewer creature comforts. You won't find leather seats, automatic climate control, or rear-seat entertainment here, but the Voyager provides the same Stow 'n Go capability that makes the Pacifica so versatile. Behind the third row, the Voyager boasts the same 32 cubic feet of cargo volume as the Pacifica. So, while we have yet to put this van through our practical space tests, we feel safe saying that the Voyager will be able accommodate what its brother could (i.e., 12 carry-on suitcases with the rear seats up).

Infotainment and Connectivity

Chrysler provides a 3.5-inch digital display in the gauge cluster, a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the center stack, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and a six-speaker audio system with active noise cancellation. Bluetooth streaming and integrated voice control are also included but in-dash navigation, a larger 10.1-inch infotainment display, and SiriusXM radio are optional.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Looking for driver-assistance features ? You won't find many in the Voyager and nothing of the like is offered as standard. For more information about the Voyager's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA ) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety ( IIHS ) websites. Key safety features include:

• Available automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
• Available rear parking sensors with rear automated emergency braking
• Available blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert

Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

Chrysler's warranty coverage is fairly typical for the class. The Toyota Sienna offers more value here in the form of a two-year/25,000-mile complimentary scheduled maintenance plan.

• Limited warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles
• Powertrain warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles
• No complimentary scheduled maintenance
